So Jo Cox Didn't Make it Then.

You may remember that Jo Cox was the British MP for the Labour Party who chaired the Parliamentary Syria group.

In this role she provided both political and material support to the Army of Conquest/Jaish al-Fatah (JAF) terror coalition in Syria. This made Jo Cox both morally and legally responsible for literally hundreds of thousands of deaths along with numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity.

On June 16th (16/6/16) Jo Cox was shot and killed. This had nothing to do with the EU referendum.

In response her widower husband set about using her martyrdom to raise more money to help the Army of Conquest kill more people, commit more war crimes and commit more crimes against humanity. Part of this effort was releasing a single in the hope of it reaching the once converted Christmas Number 1 slot in the music charts.

This is really a hangover from the days when singles were sold on 7 inch discs. Before Christmas people would buy these as gifts so you could give people the excitement of unwrapping lots of little parcels without spending too much money. As a result the single that sold the most copies in the week before Christmas was often the biggest selling single of the year.

The song chosen to honour Jo Cox was a cover version of the Rolling Stones song; "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

This is essentially a mockery of the self-obsessed bourgeois, bohemian political rebels of London's 1960's art and music scene.  The contemporary equivalent of this are those people constantly telling us that Refugees Are Welcome.

They're the type of people that when you go up to them and ask;

"I agree that we have a duty to protect and care for refugees. Surely though you can't object to someone like Anis Amri being placed in prison whilst awaiting deportation. After all we'd established that he wasn't a refugee and surely we also have a duty to care for and protect those 12 people he murdered?"

They will respond;

"RACIST!!!!!"

Likewise if you ask;

"What about that obviously anonymous Yezidi woman who escaped sex slavery and sought refuge in Germany. Only one day in June she's in a market in Baden when suddenly she's confronted with her rapist and captor who has also been granted refugee status. Surely we owe it to her to bring that man to justice or at least make sure she's not forced to face him every day?"

They will respond with a blank stare.

That's because they don't care about refugees enough to learn anything about the subject. They only care about sounding like good people in front of their friends at the trendiest dinner parties. Or at a reception with a glass of wine in their hand.

They're the sort of people who clearly know what they want. Even if other people have different opinions about what they need.

In short the song is a 7 minute mockery of everything Jo Cox was and everything that she stood for. It even features the line; "You can tell from her bloodstained hands."

Therefore I really wanted that song to be the Christmas Number 1. It would have been the most subversive Christmas Number 1 since 2009 when Rage Against the Machine topped the charts with: "Killing in the Name Of."

Plus rather than going to the Army of Conquest any proceeds from the single would have been seized under terrorism legislation and given to a good cause. Maybe the NHS or even helping refugees rather than helping to make more people refugees.

The single's actually had quite a difficult journey. When it was released last Friday (16/12/16) the government announced that it would be supporting it by waiving sales tax amid a blaze of publicity.

When the mid-week sales charts came out on Tuesday (20/12/16) it was languishing in - I think - 60th place with little to no hope of making it to the Number 1 slot.  In what was admittedly a busy week I heard a rumour that at that point the song was quietly withdrawn from sale - "deleted" in the jargon.

If that were true and they'd called at least some attention to it that would certainly have signalled a possible shift in the UK's position on those who raise money for the Army of Conquest.

The Christmas Number 1 was announced yesterday (23/12/16) at around 16:00.

Earlier in the day we got a much clearer signal of a shifting in the British position. Two men - Syed Hoque and Mashoud Miah - were convicted and imprisoned for using humanitarian aid convoys to support terrorism in Syria.

So, yeah. Sometimes I do worry about Britain's elected representatives.
